4.2.1. Parameters
Parameters are order dependent.
The text in bold italics should be replaced with a name or number. To use spaces as part of a name parameter,
enclose it in double quotes like this: "System Name with Spaces".
Parameters may be mandatory values, optional values, choices, or a combination.
⚫ <parameter>.
The <> angle brackets indicate that a mandatory parameter must be entered in place of the brackets and
text inside them.
⚫ [parameter].
The [] square brackets indicate that an optional parameter may be entered in place of the brackets and
text inside them.
⚫ {choice1 | choice2}.
The | indicates that only one of the parameters should be entered.
The {} curly braces indicate that a parameter must be chosen from the list of choices.
4.2.2. Values
⚫ ipaddr
This parameter is a valid IP address, made up of four decimal bytes ranging from 0 to 255. The default for
all IP parameters consists of zeros (that is, 0.0.0.0). The interface IP address of 0.0.0.0 is invalid.
⚫ macaddr
The MAC address format is six hexadecimal numbers separated by colons, for example 00:06:29:32:81:40.
⚫ areaid
Area IDs may be entered in dotted-decimal notation (for example, 0.0.0.1). An area ID of 0.0.0.0 is reserved
for the backbone. Area IDs have the same form as IP addresses, but are distinct from IP addresses. The IP
network number of the sub-netted network may be used for the area ID.
⚫ routerid
The value of <router id> must be entered in 4-digit dotted-decimal notation (for example, 0.0.0.1). A router
ID of 0.0.0.0 is invalid.
